i already checked configure --help, it wasnt there
about abusing the network...
1.
you know i like to browse the network, and when i see a movie or
whatever i like to just open it and see what's it about.... that without
going thru all of smbmount ....
2.
some people like more if i watch a movie from the network, because that
way i use their harddisk only for let's say 200kb/s.... which is really
tolerable... but if i copy it to me , i do it at 3000kb/s... which is
not that much tolerable

It's about 25-50% faster, at least for me.

Re: audio slightly off (sync?)...

[Automatic answer: RTFM (read DOCS, FAQ), also read DOCS/bugreports.html]
Clip info:
Software: MEncoder CVS-030128-18:58-3.2
its pretty new, just like 3 days old. the problem still persists, and i'm
finding more and more dvd's that encode to divx's with 200-300ms audio
delays. the dvd's playback perfectly with mplayer, but once encoded to divx,
i have to specify mplayer's -delay option. does it have anything to do with
telecine? i'm not sure, but the problem seems to occur when i get those
automatic telecine detection messages when encoding.
i tried to put the delay in the header of the divx with the -audio-delay
option with mencoder as follows:
mencoder -oac copy -ovc copy -audio-delay 0.3 -o kingpin_sync.avi kingpin.avi
is that the right way to use -audio-delay? it doesn't seem to work. the
audio in kingpin_sync.avi is just as off as in the original file kingpin.avi.
even if -audio-delay worked, would players like windows media player recognize
it? or just mplayer?
thanks,

keyboard behavior change

I recently moved from 0.90rc1 (I think) to 0,90rc3 and had
something annoying change on the keyboard.
Used to be <SPACE> paused play and <ENTER> resumed from the
same point. Now <ENTER> restarts play from the beginning including
resetting to the original image size. This happens with multiple
file types.
Is there a way to get the previous behavior? I haven't found
any place defining how to change things in input.conf.

Old behavior: space pauses and any key resumes.
New behavior: space pauses and any key resumes, and that key also does
its normal function after resuming!
Recommended solution: use space to unpause, not enter! I have no idea
where you got the idea that enter was the unpause key.

Hmm, unbind enter or make enter a second pause key? Read the sample
input.conf in etc for examples.
